Hello Rank Squad! 

With the chaos of the transfer window now safely in the rear-view mirror, we take a look back at an incredible wild Deadline Day and examine who came out of it looking stronger than they did at the weekend. 

Firstly, Dean takes a look back at how his Deadline Day unfolded, and compared it to a good many years of covering the busiest day in any transfer journalist's calendar; before we discuss the massive spends by clubs across the board this window. 

In the main segment, Jack works through five teams who had successful ends on Deadline Day, for a variety of reasons, from sheer desperation to well-executed late planning - Aston Villa, Nottingham Forest, Sunderland, Fulham and Juventus; before we break down some of our favourite transfers from across the window in Part Three. 

It's Ranks!
